Sheridan Smith has reportedly split from her boyfriend Alex Lawler after their four month romance.
According to The Sun, friends of the 40-year-old actress have confirmed to the publication that the pair had parted ways.
The TV starlet has seemingly cleared out her archives and deleted all trace of their time spent together which had been shared to social media.
Chums of the pair explained that their break-up had been platonic with “no major dramas” at the centre of the split.
Alex and Sheridan had history together as the pair had dated before when they were in their twenties but it appears it just wasn’t meant to be.
A Insider said: “Sheridan and Alex’s relationship ended a few weeks ago. There was no major drama and they both agreed their romance had run its course.”
“Sheridan was delighted when she rekindled her old flame with Alex and it was a wonderful reunion for them both.
“But after a while it was clear that they would be better off as friends. She is single now and focusing on herself and her son.”
Last September, the West End star went public with her’s and Alex’s romance – revealing they were dating again after over two decades.
In a gushy social media post, Sheridan wrote: “So pleased this fitty I dated back in the day (20 years ago) is back in my life.
“Life works in mysterious ways . . . miss you Mr L.”
Alex is also no stranger when it comes to fame, having appeared in Mike Bassett: England Manager in 2001 and football drama Dream Team on Sky.

The actor and Sheridan didn’t exactly get off to a great start in their relationship after they were involved in a serious road accident in Essex two months agao.
Just eight-weeks ago, the BAFTA award winner crashed her £100,000 Range Rover into a tree after she’d need to swerve because of the bad weather conditions.
Both Alex and Sheridan were on-board at the time of the incident with the pair said to have suffered minor injuries.
Police later verified that no crime had been committed and no other driver had been involved.
